Equality and Diversity

We believe in equality and diversity at Westgate College and the John Townsend Trust. In particular, the Trust believes that no individual or group should receive less favourable treatment as a consequence of their disability, gender, age, colour ethnic origin, culture, religious beliefs, marital status, responsibility for dependants, employment status, sexual orientation, trade union affiliation or social and economic status.

The Trust will monitor the effectiveness of this policy by analysing relevant information, evaluating it and carrying out the appropriate actions. The Trust’s commitment to equality of opportunity and the elimination of discrimination extends to applicants, pupils, students, residents, employees, volunteers and visitors.

“The promotion of equality, diversity and respect for individuals underpins all College activities. Diverse cultures are celebrated well. Deaf awareness underpins all activities”.
